Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pharmaceutical dispensing equipment technology, and in particular to a semi-automatic dispensing device. Background Technology

[0002] In the automated production of traditional Chinese medicine decoction, automated equipment has been widely adopted to realize the weighing, decocting, slag removal, and liquid filling of medicinal materials, significantly improving production efficiency and process controllability. However, due to the large variety and complex characteristics of Chinese medicinal materials, in order to ensure accurate feeding and medication safety, manual dispensing and manual verification are still required in key processes.

[0003] In related technologies, the manual dispensing device and manual verification are located on opposite sides of two separate production lines, with medicine barrels transferred between the lines by robotic arms. When some medicine barrels require delayed decoction or are blocked in subsequent processes, they need to be temporarily stored at a buffer station using robotic arms. Since the buffering operation relies on the same robotic arm, when the prescription volume is large, the robotic arm's scheduling becomes strained, easily leading to medicine barrel backlog on the manual dispensing side of the production line, affecting dispensing continuity and reducing overall production efficiency. Therefore, it is urgent to optimize the medicine barrel transfer and buffering mechanism to improve the system's operational smoothness and the stability of the production cycle.

In addition, the independent operation capability of the third flow assembly reduces the system's dependence on the robotic arm, reducing equipment maintenance costs and failure rates.

[0063] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0064] It should be noted that if the embodiments of this utility model involve directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.), the directional indicators are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of the components in a specific posture. If the specific posture changes, the directional indicators will also change accordingly.

Therefore, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features. Additionally, the use of "and / or" or "and / or" throughout the text includes three parallel solutions. For example, "A and / or B" includes solution A, solution B, or a solution where both A and B are satisfied simultaneously. Furthermore, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but this must be based on the ability of those skilled in the art to implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.

[0066] In this technology, the manual dispensing device and the manual verification are located on opposite sides of two separate production lines, with medicine barrels transferred between the lines by robotic arms. When some medicine barrels require delayed decoction or are blocked in subsequent processes, they need to be temporarily stored at a buffer station using robotic arms. Since the buffering operation relies on the same robotic arm, when the prescription volume is large, the robotic arm scheduling becomes strained, easily leading to a backlog of medicine barrels on the manual dispensing side of the production line, affecting dispensing continuity and reducing overall production efficiency.

[0067] This utility model proposes a semi-automatic dispensing device 100, which aims to optimize the transfer and buffering mechanism of medicine barrels to improve the smoothness of system operation and the stability of production cycle.

[0068] Please see Figures 1 to 3In one embodiment of the present invention, the semi-automatic dispensing equipment 100 has a feeding station a, a discharging station b, a first feeding station c, a second feeding station d, a first transfer station e, a second transfer station f, a first transit station g, a second transit station h, a dispensing station j, and a verification station k. The semi-automatic dispensing equipment 100 includes a housing 1, a first flow assembly 2, a second flow assembly 3, a third flow assembly 4, a manual dispensing device 5, a manual verification device 6, and multiple conveying mechanisms 7. The housing 1 has an inlet 1a and an outlet 1b communicating with its inner cavity, both located at the same end of the housing 1 in the lateral direction. A first flow assembly 2 extends from the inlet 1a into the housing 1, and is used to sequentially transport the medicine barrel assembly 200 from the inlet station a to the first loading station c and the first transfer station e. A second flow assembly 3 extends from the outlet 1b into the housing 1, and is used to sequentially transport the medicine barrel assembly 200 from the second transfer station f to the second loading station d and the outlet station b. A third flow assembly 4 is located inside the housing 1 and at one end of the first flow assembly 2 and the second flow assembly 3, and is used to transport the medicine barrel assembly 200 from the inlet station a to the first loading station c and the first transfer station e. A transfer station g transports the herbs to the second transfer station h; a manual dispensing device 5 is located beside the first flow assembly 2, corresponding to the dispensing station j, and is used to manually dispense the Chinese medicinal materials in the medicine barrel assembly 200 transported to the dispensing station j; a manual verification device 6 is located beside the second flow assembly 3, corresponding to the verification station k, and is used to verify the Chinese medicinal materials in the medicine barrel assembly 200 transported to the verification station k; multiple conveying mechanisms 7 are respectively located corresponding to the first loading station c, the second loading station d, the first transfer station g, and the second transfer station h, and are used to transport the medicine barrel assembly 200 between the first flow assembly 2, the manual dispensing device 5, the third flow assembly 4, the second flow assembly 3, and the manual verification device 6.

[0069] It is understandable that the shell 1, as an overall frame, has an inlet 1a and an outlet 1b at one of its horizontal ends. The inlet 1a and outlet 1b are respectively connected to the external feeding system and the subsequent cooking / filling line, which reduces space occupation and improves the overall layout efficiency, ensuring that the equipment layout is compact and the logistics path is clear.

[0070] The first flow assembly 2 extends laterally from the feed inlet 1a into the housing 1, undertaking the initial conveying task of the medicine barrel assembly 200 from the feeding station a to the first loading station c. After passing the first loading station c, the medicine barrel assembly 200 is precisely transported by the conveying mechanism 7 located at that station to the dispensing station j next to the manual dispensing device 5. Here, the operator replenishes or adjusts the Chinese medicinal materials in the medicine barrel to ensure the accuracy of the prescription. After dispensing, the medicine barrel assembly 200 returns to the first loading station c via the same conveying mechanism 7, and is then conveyed by the first flow assembly 2 to the first transfer station e.

[0071] The medicine barrel assembly 200 at the first transfer station e works in conjunction with the first flow assembly 2 via the conveyor mechanism 7 at the first intermediate transfer station g to transfer the medicine barrel to the starting end of the third flow assembly 4. The third flow assembly 4, as an independent conveying channel, extends longitudinally along the interior of the housing 1 and directly connects one end of the first flow assembly 2 and the second flow assembly 3. After the medicine barrel assembly 200 is conveyed to the second intermediate transfer station h via the third flow assembly 4, the conveyor mechanism 7 at the second transfer station h, in cooperation with the second flow assembly 3, transfers the medicine barrel assembly 200 to the second transfer station f.

[0072] The second flow assembly 3 then transports the medicine barrel assembly 200 to the second loading station d. The conveyor mechanism 7 at this station transports the medicine barrel assembly 200 to the verification station k next to the manual verification device 6. Here, the operator verifies the dispensed Chinese medicinal materials. After confirming that the dosage and compatibility are correct, the medicine barrel assembly 200 returns to the second loading station d via the conveyor mechanism 7, and is finally transported by the second flow assembly 3 to the discharge station b, completing the entire dispensing process.

[0073] It should be noted that under normal operating conditions, the medicine barrel assembly 200 can be buffered between the first transfer station e and the second transfer station f by a robotic arm; however, during high-load operation or when the robotic arm is delayed due to busy tasks, the medicine barrel assembly 200 can be directly transferred sequentially through the third assembly line 4 without relying on the robotic arm's buffering function. By setting up a dual-path design (robotic arm + dedicated assembly line), system redundancy is improved, ensuring that the dwell time of the medicine barrel assembly 200 at any station is controllable, and avoiding the problem of stagnation at the manual adjustment station j due to robotic arm failure or overload.

[0074] Through precise control of the conveyor mechanism 7, the medicine barrel assembly 200 can quickly switch between workstations, shortening the dispensing and verification operation cycle. By setting up a third flow assembly 4, when the robotic arm is busy with buffer tasks or malfunctions, the medicine barrel assembly 200 can flow directly through the third flow assembly 4 without waiting for the robotic arm to reschedule. Even under extreme conditions (such as a surge in prescription volume or temporary blockage in local processes), the continuous flow of the medicine barrel assembly 200 can be maintained, preventing the manual dispensing station from being forced to stop due to medicine barrel accumulation, thus ensuring the stability of the production cycle. Furthermore, the independent operation capability of the third flow assembly 4 reduces the system's dependence on the robotic arm, reducing equipment maintenance costs and failure rates.

[0075] Specifically, please refer to Figures 4 to 5 In this embodiment, the first transfer station e and the first transit station g are arranged horizontally at intervals, the second transfer station f and the second transit station h are arranged horizontally at intervals, and the first transit station g and the second transit station h are arranged vertically at intervals. The plurality of conveying mechanisms 7 include two first conveying mechanisms 71 corresponding to the first transit station g and the second transit station h. Each first conveying mechanism 71 includes a first fixed base 711, a first driving device 712, a first lifting part 713 and a first conveying part 714. The first fixed base 711 is fixed. The first drive unit 712 is fixedly connected to the second conveyor frame; the first drive unit 712 is mounted on the first fixed base 711 and has a first drive part that can be moved up and down; the first lifting part 713 is connected to the top of the first drive part and is driven by the first drive part to move up and down, and is used to lift the medicine barrel assembly 200 in the upward movement stroke to disengage it from the third water flow assembly 4; the first conveying part 714 is movably disposed in the first lifting part 713 in the lateral direction and is used to convey the medicine barrel assembly 200 supported thereon in the lateral direction.

[0076] Specifically, the longitudinal spacing between the first transfer station g and the second transfer station h allows the third flow assembly 4 to extend longitudinally and directly connect the first transfer station g and the second transfer station h, thereby forming a medicine barrel transfer channel independent of the first flow assembly 2 and the second flow assembly 3.

[0077] To address the transfer requirement of the medicine barrel assembly 200 between the first transfer station g and the second transfer station h, two first conveying mechanisms 71 are provided. Each first conveying mechanism 71 includes a first fixed base 711, a first driving device 712, a first lifting part 713, and a first conveying part 714.

[0078] The first fixed seat 711 is fixed to the second conveyor frame (i.e. the bearing frame of the third flow assembly 4) by bolts or welding, providing stable support for the first drive device 712.

[0079] The first drive device 712 adopts the form of a cylinder or an electric push rod. Its first drive unit can be set up and down, and the lifting action is achieved by the extension and retraction of the piston rod or the lifting and lowering movement of the motor.

[0080] The first lifting section 713 is connected to the top of the first driving device 712 and is made of a rigid metal plate or frame. It is used to move vertically under the drive of the first driving device 712. When the first lifting section 713 moves upward, its bottom contacts the bottom of the medicine barrel assembly 200, lifting the medicine barrel assembly 200 from the bearing surface (such as a roller or conveyor belt) of the third flow assembly 4, thus detaching it from contact with the third flow assembly 4 and creating space for subsequent lateral conveying.

[0081] The first conveying unit 714 is laterally movably mounted on top of the first lifting unit 713, and typically uses a slide rail and slider structure or a linear module to achieve lateral movement. The bearing surface of the first conveying unit 714 is adapted to the bottom of the medicine barrel assembly 200 to ensure that the medicine barrel assembly 200 can be stably supported after lifting. After the first lifting unit 713 completes the disengagement action of the medicine barrel assembly 200, the first conveying unit 714 starts lateral movement, conveying the medicine barrel assembly 200 laterally to the target station (such as the first transfer station g or the second transfer station h).

[0082] It should be noted that the lateral movement range of the first conveyor 714 must cover the lateral interval between the first transfer station g and the second transfer station h. At the same time, its movement speed and accuracy must be coordinated with the running rhythm of the third flow assembly 4 to avoid the medicine barrel assembly 200 from being stuck or colliding during the flow due to speed mismatch.

[0083] Specifically, please refer to Figure 5 In this embodiment, the first transmission mechanism 71 further includes a second drive device 715, which is fixedly mounted on the first fixed base 711. The second drive device 715 has a first output shaft extending longitudinally, and the output end of the first output shaft is coaxially connected to a first transmission wheel 716 for transmitting driving force to subsequent transmission components. A first transmission shaft 717 extends longitudinally and maintains a certain lateral distance from the first output shaft. Both ends of the first transmission shaft 717 are rotatably supported on the first fixed base 711 or the second lifting part 733 via bearing seats, ensuring its coaxiality and stability during operation. The second transmission wheel 718 and the third transmission wheel 719 are coaxially fixedly connected to the first transmission shaft 717, respectively undertaking the power transmission function of different transmission paths.

[0084] The first transmission belt 720 is wound around the periphery of the first transmission wheel 716 and the second transmission wheel 718, forming a closed loop transmission chain. Power is transmitted through friction or meshing, thereby transmitting the rotational motion of the second drive device 715 to the first drive shaft 717 via the first output shaft, the first transmission wheel 716, the first transmission belt 720, and the second transmission wheel 718, causing it to rotate around its own axis. This transmission path ensures the synchronous rotation of the first drive shaft 717 in the longitudinal direction, providing the power basis for subsequent lateral conveying.

[0085] The first tensioning pulley 721 and the second tensioning pulley 722 are spaced apart laterally, with their rotation axes extending longitudinally, and are rotatably connected to the second lifting part 733 via a bearing structure. The tensioning pulleys not only adjust the tension of the second transmission belt 723, preventing slippage or tooth skipping due to slack, but also optimize the space occupied by the transmission path through a reasonable layout. The second transmission belt 723 is wound around the third transmission pulley 719, the first tensioning pulley 721, and the second tensioning pulley 722, forming a multi-point supported annular transmission structure. The third transmission pulley 719 acts as the driving pulley, driving the entire transmission system through meshing or friction with the second transmission belt 723, while the first tensioning pulley 721 and the second tensioning pulley 722 act as driven pulleys or guide pulleys, guiding the direction of the second transmission belt 723 and maintaining its operational stability.

[0086] Specifically, the upper layer of the second transmission belt 723 constitutes the first conveying section 714, which is the actual working part used to carry and transport the medicine barrel assembly 200 laterally. When the second drive device 715 is activated, power is transmitted to the first drive shaft 717 via the first output shaft, the first drive wheel 716, the first transmission belt 720, and the second drive wheel 718, thereby driving the third drive wheel 719 to rotate and driving the second transmission belt 723 to circulate. Since the upper layer of the second transmission belt 723 extends laterally and spans the space between the first transfer station g and the second transfer station h, the medicine barrel assembly 200, after being placed on this belt, can move laterally synchronously with it, realizing precise transport from the first transfer station g to the second transfer station h or in the opposite direction.

[0087] Further, please refer to Figure 5In this embodiment, the first fixed base 711 includes a first base plate 7111 and a first guide sleeve 7112, which are connected by welding or bolts to form an integral rigid support structure. The first base plate 7111 serves as a base mounting plate and is fixedly connected to the second conveyor frame to support the first drive device 712, the first guide sleeve 7112, and other related components. The first guide sleeve 7112 extends upward from the first base plate 7111, with its axis vertically arranged in the vertical direction, and is coaxially or parallel to the first base plate 7111, forming a guiding reference for the movement trajectory of the first lifting part 713. A first guide hole is provided on both the first base plate 7111 and the first guide sleeve 7112. This first guide hole penetrates the entire height of the first base plate 7111 and the first guide sleeve 7112 in the vertical direction, forming a continuous through-hole structure. Its inner wall is precision machined to ensure dimensional accuracy and surface finish, thereby providing good guiding conditions for sliding fit.

[0088] A first guide post 7131 extends downward from the bottom of the first lifting part 713. This first guide post 7131 is a cylindrical rigid rod whose outer diameter matches the inner diameter of the first guide hole, ensuring a sliding fit between them. When the first driving device 712 drives the first lifting part 713 to move vertically, the first guide post 7131 simultaneously inserts into the first guide hole and reciprocates linearly along its axis. This sliding fit structure restricts the degree of freedom of the first lifting part 713 in the transverse plane, preventing it from deflecting, swaying, or twisting during lifting and lowering, thereby ensuring the stability of the medicine container assembly 200 during lifting and lowering. The length of the first guide post 7131 must be designed to maintain sufficient insertion depth even during the maximum upward stroke of the first lifting part 713, preventing it from dislodging from the first guide hole and causing guide failure.

[0089] Further, please refer to Figure 4 In this embodiment, the third flow assembly 4 also includes a first detection device 41 and a second detection device 42, which are used to realize real-time monitoring of the status of the medicine barrel assembly 200 at the transfer station.

[0090] The first detection device 41 is set up corresponding to the first transfer station g and is installed on the supporting structure of the third flow assembly 4 or on the adjacent first fixed base 711. Its detection end faces the stopping area of ​​the medicine barrel assembly 200 at the first transfer station g and is used to sense whether the medicine barrel assembly 200 exists at the station.

[0091] The second detection device 42 is set symmetrically or mirror-imagely to the second transfer station h. Its installation position and detection direction correspond to those of the first detection device 41, ensuring consistent coverage of the second transfer station h. Both types of detection devices use non-contact sensors, such as photoelectric sensors, proximity switches, or laser displacement sensors. Their transmitting and receiving ends are respectively arranged on both sides or one side of the running path of the medicine barrel assembly 200 in a reflection mode. When the medicine barrel assembly 200 enters the detection area, the light path or electromagnetic field is blocked or the reflected signal changes, thereby triggering the detection signal.

[0092] The detection area of ​​the first detection device 41 precisely covers the predetermined stopping position of the first transfer station g, ensuring that the presence status of the medicine barrel assembly 200 can be promptly identified after it has been transported to the first transfer station g by the first flow assembly 2 and has completely stopped. This signal is transmitted in real time to the central control system of the equipment (such as a PLC or industrial computer) to determine whether to start the lifting and lateral conveying action of the first conveying mechanism 71.

[0093] Similarly, the second detection device 42 monitors the occupancy status of the second transfer station h. When the medicine barrel assembly 200 is conveyed to the second transfer station h via the third flow assembly 4 and comes to a stop, the second detection device 42 outputs an presence signal. The control system uses this signal to determine whether the second conveying mechanism 73 is allowed to perform subsequent transfer operations to the second transfer station f. The signals from both types of detection devices also participate in the equipment's safety interlocking logic. For example, if the target station is already occupied, the upstream station is prohibited from continuing to convey the medicine barrel assembly 200 to prevent stacking or collisions.

[0094] Further, please refer to Figure 4 In this embodiment, a first limiting plate 43 is also provided on the top of the third water flow component 4. The first limiting plate 43 is used to constrain the movement boundary of the medicine barrel component 200 during the lateral conveying process.

[0095] Understandably, the third conveyor assembly 4, serving as a longitudinal conveying channel connecting the first transfer station g and the second transfer station h, has its top plane as the running bearing surface for the medicine barrel assembly 200 during lateral transfer by the first conveyor section 714. The first limiting plate 43 is fixedly installed at a specific position on this top plane, specifically on the side of the first conveyor section 714 furthest from the first conveyor assembly 2 in the lateral direction, i.e., at the end region where the first conveyor section 714 completes its lateral conveying stroke. This arrangement ensures that when the medicine barrel assembly 200 moves laterally from the side closer to the first conveyor assembly 2 to the side closer to the third conveyor assembly 4 via the first conveyor section 714, the end point of its travel path is physically blocked by the first limiting plate 43.

[0096] The first limiting plate 43 is typically formed by bending or machining a metal sheet, possessing sufficient structural rigidity and wear resistance. It is vertically mounted on the frame or support beam of the third flow assembly 4, and is securely connected by bolts or welding. Its side facing the direction of movement of the medicine barrel assembly 200 constitutes a limiting reference surface. This reference surface is perpendicular to or at a specific angle to the lateral movement direction of the first conveyor 714, ensuring that the medicine barrel assembly 200 can smoothly contact it when pushed to the end of its stroke.

[0097] When the first conveying unit 714 transports the medicine barrel assembly 200 laterally to the target position, the outer wall of the medicine barrel assembly 200 gradually approaches the first limiting plate 43 and contacts its limiting reference surface at the final position, thereby achieving precise positioning.

[0098] For further information, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 4 In this embodiment, a second limiting plate 44 is further provided on the top of the third flow assembly 4. The second limiting plate 44 is spaced apart from the first limiting plate 43 in the lateral direction and extends longitudinally.

[0099] Specifically, the second limiting plate 44 is located in the area between the first transfer station g and the second transfer station h. Its installation position corresponds to the side of the first conveyor 714 closer to the first flow assembly 2 in the lateral direction, that is, the starting side of the medicine barrel assembly 200 moving laterally from the first transfer station g to the second transfer station h. This arrangement causes the first limiting plate 43 and the second limiting plate 44 to be arranged opposite each other in the lateral direction, together forming a limiting channel extending in the longitudinal direction, which is used to guide and constrain the longitudinal movement of the medicine barrel assembly 200 on the third flow assembly 4.

[0100] The second limiting plate 44 is fixed to the top of the support structure of the third flow assembly 4 by bolts or welding. Its extension direction is parallel to the longitudinal centerline of the third flow assembly 4, ensuring that the medicine barrel assembly 200 is guided by the first limiting plate 43 and the second limiting plate 44 on both sides during longitudinal transport. The limiting surface of the second limiting plate 44 faces the lateral inward, that is, towards the operating area of ​​the first conveyor 714, to prevent the medicine barrel assembly 200 from lateral deviation during longitudinal transport when it is not lifted by the first conveyor 714 or is in a non-transfer state. Especially during the longitudinal operation stage when the medicine barrel assembly 200 enters the third flow assembly 4 from the first transfer station g, or is transported from the third flow assembly 4 to the second transfer station h, the second limiting plate 44 and the first limiting plate 43 together form a lateral constraint to ensure that the medicine barrel assembly 200 moves stably along the preset path.

[0101] Further, please refer to Figure 4In this embodiment, the second limiting plate 44 has a guide section 441, which is located at one end of the second limiting plate 44 near the first transfer station g, that is, the entrance area where the medicine barrel assembly 200 enters the third flow assembly 4 from the first flow assembly 2.

[0102] The guide section 441 does not extend in a straight longitudinal direction, but starts from the starting position where it is connected to the main body of the second limiting plate 44 and gradually tilts away from the first limiting plate 43 in the direction closer to the first transfer station g, forming an outwardly flared or obliquely cut structure.

[0103] The tilting direction is adapted to the movement trajectory of the medicine barrel assembly 200 from the first transfer station g to the second transfer station h into the third flow assembly 4, so that when the medicine barrel assembly 200 transitions from the first transfer station g to the third flow assembly 4, its lateral position is slightly deviated, but it can still be guided by the guide section 441 to the center area of ​​the limiting channel.

[0104] When the medicine barrel assembly 200 is pushed from the first transfer station g to the third flow assembly 4, if its initial position is slightly biased towards the second limiting plate 44, the outer wall of the medicine barrel assembly 200 will first contact the inclined surface of the guide section 441. Under the action of longitudinal thrust, the medicine barrel assembly 200 slides along the inclined surface and is gradually "pushed" towards the center line of the limiting channel, and finally enters the parallel guide channel formed by the first limiting plate 43 and the second limiting plate 44, thus achieving automatic correction.

[0105] Further, please refer to Figure 3 The adjustment station j and the first loading station c are spaced apart in the longitudinal direction, and the verification station k and the second loading station d are also spaced apart in the longitudinal direction. This longitudinally spaced layout creates independent longitudinal conveying paths between the first loading station c and the adjustment station j, and between the second loading station d and the verification station k, avoiding spatial overlap and interference between the loading operation and subsequent adjustment or verification operations.

[0106] Specifically, the first loading station c is located at the front end of the first flow assembly 2, used for manually or automatically placing the medicine barrel assembly 200 to be dispensed into the system; the dispensing station j is located at the longitudinal extension downstream of the first flow assembly 2, used for performing core dispensing operations such as weighing and dispensing. Similarly, the second loading station d is located at the beginning of the second flow assembly 3, and the verification station k is located at its downstream longitudinal position, used for quality inspection and information verification of the dispensed medicine.

[0107] To enable the vertical transfer of the medicine barrel assembly 200 between the loading station and the operating station, please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figure 3 and Figure 6This semi-automatic dispensing equipment 100 is equipped with two second conveying mechanisms 73, corresponding to the first loading station c and the second loading station d, respectively. Each second conveying mechanism 73 includes a second fixed base 731, a third drive device 732, a second lifting part 733, and a second conveying part 734. The second fixed base 731 is fixedly connected to the conveyor frame (i.e., the support frame of the first flow assembly 2 or the second flow assembly 3) by bolts or welding, providing a stable installation foundation for the third drive device 732. The third drive device 732 adopts the form of a pneumatic cylinder, an electric push rod, or a servo electric cylinder. Its third drive part is movably arranged in the vertical direction, and the vertical reciprocating motion is achieved by the extension and retraction of the piston rod or the lifting and lowering of the lead screw.

[0108] The second lifting unit 733 is connected to the top of the third drive unit and is typically constructed of a metal plate or frame structure. It moves vertically under the drive of the third drive unit. After the medicine barrel assembly 200 is conveyed to the first loading station c or the second loading station d and the loading operation is completed, the third drive unit 732 is activated, driving the second lifting unit 733 to move upwards, so that its top contacts the bottom of the medicine barrel assembly 200, and lifts it from the bearing surface (such as rollers, belts, or guide rails) of the first flow assembly 2 or the second flow assembly 3, thus separating the medicine barrel assembly 200 from the flow assembly. This separation action creates a contactless operating environment for subsequent longitudinal conveying, avoiding conflicts with the flow assembly's running direction or interference from frictional resistance.

[0109] The second conveyor 734 is longitudinally movably mounted on top of the second lifting unit 733, and typically employs a slide rail-slider structure, linear motor module, or belt drive mechanism for longitudinal movement. Its bearing surface matches the bottom of the medicine barrel assembly 200, ensuring stable support of the medicine barrel assembly 200 during lifting. After the second lifting unit 733 completes its lifting action, the second conveyor 734 activates, pushing the medicine barrel assembly 200 longitudinally from the first loading station c to the dispensing station j, or from the second loading station d to the verification station k. This longitudinal conveying path aligns with the main conveying direction of the flow assembly, ensuring the medicine barrel assembly 200 accurately enters the next work station. The stroke range of the second conveyor 734 covers the longitudinal distance between the loading station and the target station, and its speed and acceleration are optimized to match the overall equipment rhythm, preventing spillage of medicine or component displacement due to impact.

[0110] Specifically, please refer to Figure 7 The manual dispensing device 5 includes a first housing 51 and a first conveying assembly 52. ​​The first housing 51 constitutes the external enclosed structure of the manual dispensing device 5, which is used to house the internal mechanism, isolate external interference, and ensure operational safety.

[0111] The first housing 51 is provided with a feeding port 51a and a conveying port 51b, wherein the feeding port 51a is located at the top of the first housing 51, providing an entrance for operators to add Chinese medicinal materials into the device.

[0112] The delivery port 51b is located on one side of the first housing 51 in the longitudinal direction, that is, on one end side wall along the longitudinal extension direction of the first water flow assembly 2, serving as a channel for the medicine barrel assembly 200 to enter and exit the manual dispensing device 5. The delivery port 51b is connected to the end of the second conveying mechanism 73, so that the medicine barrel assembly 200 pushed by the second conveying part 734 can smoothly enter the interior of the first housing 51.

[0113] The internal space of the first housing 51 is provided with a dispensing station j, which is a fixed working position for the medicine barrel assembly 200 to complete weighing, sorting and dispensing operations under manual intervention. Its longitudinal coordinates match the stroke of the conveying port 51b and the first conveying part 522.

[0114] The first conveying component 52 is located inside the first housing 51 and is used to convey the medicine barrel component 200 from the conveying port 51b to the dispensing station j after the medicine barrel component 200 enters the device.

[0115] The first conveying assembly 52 includes a fourth drive device 521 and a first conveying section 522. The fourth drive device 521 is fixedly installed on the internal support structure of the first housing 51, and can be in the form of a servo motor, a stepper motor with a lead screw and nut mechanism, or a linear motor, etc., to provide precise and controllable driving force.

[0116] The first conveying unit 522 is a mechanical structure for supporting and carrying the medicine barrel assembly 200, such as a pallet, slide, or belt platform. Its top surface is flat and adapted to the bottom of the medicine barrel assembly 200 to ensure stability during the conveying process. The fourth drive device 521 is connected to the first conveying unit 522 via a coupling, synchronous belt, or rack and pinion, etc., to transmit rotary motion or linear power to the first conveying unit 522, causing it to move longitudinally.

[0117] After the medicine barrel assembly 200 enters the first housing 51 through the conveying port 51b and is received by the first conveying unit 522, the fourth driving device 521 is activated, driving the first conveying unit 522 to move longitudinally inward, smoothly pushing the medicine barrel assembly 200 from the position of the conveying port 51b to the dispensing station j located inside, completing the feeding action. This longitudinal conveying direction is consistent with the pushing direction of the second conveying mechanism 73, ensuring seamless connection of the medicine barrel assembly 200 between different mechanisms.

[0118] Specifically, please refer to Figures 8 to 9The manual verification device 6 includes a mounting frame 61, a tilting plate 62, a lifting mechanism 63, and a second conveying assembly 64. The mounting frame 61 forms the basic support structure of the manual verification device 6, and is used to support all related components such as the tilting plate 62, the lifting mechanism 63, and the second conveying assembly 64.

[0119] The tilting plate 62 is a rigid plate-shaped component that is rotatably connected to the mounting frame 61 via a rotating shaft structure about a laterally extending rotation axis. This lateral direction is consistent with the lateral direction of the first flow assembly 2 or the second flow assembly 3, i.e., perpendicular to the longitudinal conveying direction. One end of the tilting plate 62 is a fixed connection end, connected to a bearing seat or hinged support on the mounting frame 61, while the other end is a free end, which can reciprocate around the rotation axis under the drive of the lifting mechanism 63. The upper surface of the tilting plate 62 supports the medicine barrel assembly 200, and during its rotation, it drives the medicine barrel assembly 200 to rotate synchronously, thereby realizing the adjustment of the spatial posture of the medicine barrel assembly 200, such as changing from a horizontal conveying state to an inclined or vertical state, which facilitates the inspection of the Chinese medicinal materials in the medicine barrel by the operator or the vision system.

[0120] The lifting mechanism 63 extends in the vertical direction. Its lower end is connected to the mounting frame 61 by a hinge to form a stable fulcrum. Its upper end is rotatably connected to the free end of the flip plate 62 by another hinge structure to form a driving linkage point.

[0121] The lifting mechanism 63 can be in the form of a pneumatic cylinder, an electric push rod, or a hydraulic cylinder. It changes its own length through its telescopic movement, thereby pushing or pulling the free end of the tilting plate 62 to rise and fall in the vertical plane.

[0122] When the piston rod or push rod of the lifting mechanism 63 extends upward, it pushes the free end of the tilting plate 62 to rise, causing the tilting plate 62 to tilt upward around its rotation axis; when the lifting mechanism 63 retracts, the tilting plate 62 falls back to its initial horizontal position under the action of gravity or an auxiliary reset device (such as a tension spring).

[0123] The second conveying component 64 is mounted on the flip plate 62 or the mounting frame 61 and is used to further convey the medicine barrel component 200, which is pushed to the inlet of the manual verification device 6 by the second conveying mechanism 73, to the verification station k.

[0124] The second conveying assembly 64 includes a fifth drive unit 641 and a second conveying section 642. The fifth drive unit 641 is fixedly installed in the non-moving area of ​​the mounting frame 61 or the tilting plate 62, and can be a precision drive such as a servo motor with a lead screw, synchronous belt, or linear motor. The second conveying section 642 is a load-bearing structure for supporting the medicine barrel assembly 200, such as a slide, pallet, or belt conveyor section. It is driven by the fifth drive unit 641 and can move longitudinally under the drive of the fifth drive unit 641.

[0125] After the medicine barrel assembly 200 is pushed to the initial position of the manual verification device 6 by the second conveying mechanism 73, the second conveying unit 642 receives it and transports it longitudinally to the predetermined verification station k on the flipping plate 62. Before or during the verification operation, the lifting mechanism 63 can drive the flipping plate 62 to flip the medicine barrel assembly 200 to facilitate multi-angle observation, barcode scanning or manual verification.

Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the technical concept of the present utility model and the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
